alternately flatten values of nested list

Is there a way to flatten values of a nested list but alternately?

example:

nested_list = [[1, 3, 5], [2, 4]]

my expected output would be:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

>Solution :

Use hstack from numpy

import numpy as np
nested_list = [[1, 3, 5], [2, 4]]
new_nested_list = np.hstack(nested_list)

now new_nested_list is equal to [1 3 5 2 4]
